The Wearing of Dastar in Sikhism and Its Relation With the Amrit Sanskar Ceremony
Full text linkIn the religion of Sikh, wearing the turban or the dastar is a religious practice that is a symbolic proof of their faith to the Sikh Guru’s teachings and their holy book. The dastar carries its own distinguished characteristics in terms of the way it is worn, its measurements and colours. It completes the Sikh dresscode or uniform, known as Panch Kekaar or the 5Ks, that is an integral part of their identity. Nevertheless, not all Sikh followers wear the dastar. This depends on individual’s willingness to undergo a baptism ritual, known as the amrit sanskar. The dastar-wearing Sikhs who have requested for amrit are called amrit-dhari; they are true Sikh followers who adhere to the teachings of their Sikh teachers. One of the objectives of this study is to provide information to the multi-racial society in Malaysia, especially the Muslim society, concerning the wearing of dastar in Sikhism and its relation with baptism.  Through this information, it is hoped that a society that is tolerance and have mutual respect for each other, irrespective of race and religion, as aspired by the concept of 1Malaysia, is borne. In this study, the textual analysis method is adopted to retrieve information on the dastar and the amrit sanskar ritual. In addition, various references in relation to the Sikh religion were also made.   Keywords: Dastar, Sikhism, amrit sanskar, panch kekaa
Presenting the Outreach of ‘Garbhotsav Sanskar’ Movement Aimed at Programming Foetal Brain for a Well-Cultured Generation
No full textIn the present times, it is believed that socio-economic context plays an important role in the shaping of a generation. For example, the identity of Generation Z and Generation Alpha are significantly affected by various socio-economic factors like the digital age, COVID pandemic, anxiety associated with climate change, etc.; these factors have resulted in behavioural health crises including various kinds of mental disorders, living in virtual-reality instead of real-life human relationships, excessive dependency on social media, etc.
A deep dive into the possible root causes for the above-mentioned personality traits reveals that the upbringing of future generations in modern Indian and Western culture focuses only on physical fitness and health, rather than mental, spiritual, emotional and moral values. Thus, the solution suggested in this regard is: what if a way is devised to program the foetal brain to get a well-mannered, intelligent, talented child with divine qualities? If this opportunity can be tapped by bringing integrity between mother and child to inculcate the physical, mental, social, psychological, moral and spiritual well-being of the child even before birth, then a planned baby can be created.
The procedure given by the ancient sages for achieving this change is called Sanskar. The literal meaning of the word Sanskar is to make good, to refine, to purify, to sanctify, to make beautiful and useful, to remove defects and negativity in an object, to establish its good qualities and to give it a new cultured form.
Looking at the circumstances of the present life, the founder of All World Gayatri Pariwar, Vedmurti Taponisth Pandit Sriram Sharma Aacharya ji, has combined the benefits, education and scientific knowledge of Garbhadhana, Punsavan and Seemantonayan sanskars and created a universal name ‘Gabhotsav Sanskar’. It is the psychological, social and spiritual education of the science of pregnancy, a subtle culture, a resolution-making event, which in the presence of close friends is imbued with a supernatural sacred atmosphere and spiritual feelings. It is a way to draw the attention of the expectant mother, the father of the unborn child and all family members to the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being of the unborn baby.
For the past several years, ‘Garbhotsav Sanskar’ has been propagated worldwide under the ‘Aao Gadhe Sanskarvan Pidhi’ movement of Shantikunj, Haridwar. The present paper is a compilation of various efforts undertaken in this regard. The strategy included 4 parts: Public awareness work, Training of trainers, Induction of pregnant women and Garbhotsav Sanskar function. The major achievement is success in introducing new ideas in a way that is accessible, digestible, acceptable and understandable to the learned people. Several universities and educational institutions have included it in their curriculum

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
